CCOM's ASV Team will spend a year working with iXBlue's DriX ASV. This is the first time the DriX has been tested in the U.S. After an evaluation period at CCOM, the ASV will visit some other areas of the U.S., as well as some other countries. Click the link for more photos and videos.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has elected ocean mapping pioneer Larry Mayer, director of the Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping at the University of New Hampshire, as a foreign member. Mayer is among 175 foreign members of the academy, best known for selecting the Nobel Prize winners. Congratulations Larry!

Associate Professor Tom Weber and grad students Liz Weidner and Erin Heffron sailed aboard New Zealand's R/V Tangaroa where they worked to use echocounders to quanitify the amount of gases coming up form the ocean floor, and to find a way to measure the size and rate of the bubbles.

An MOU was signed between The Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project and the Five Deeps Expedition, laying the groundwork for previously unexplored areas of the seafloor to be mapped and the resulting data made available for public use, creating significant opportunities for graduates of CCOM's GEBCO training program.

CCOM is part the East Coast Oceanographic Consortium which was chosen by the NSF to operate a new state-of-the-art research vessel. The ship has been named the R/V Resolution and will be launched in 2021.
